So, yesterday I showed a random page of pencils using my newish digital technique. I was thinking that to show my process I would live blog a step by step of each stage. I never quite got around to it, but I did take a screen cap every few steps so you can get the idea of the process.<\/p>\n

So, first I start off with a blank template page with faint grid marks for a 6, 9, 8 and 12 panel grids. Then I start sketching out my thumbnails. This can involve moving panels around, shrinking them, blowing them up, or moving them to another page altogether to make room for what I need. sometimes I\u2019ll do a few different angles of a panel saving each on a separate layer so I can pick my favorite later. This one turned out pretty straight forward.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I reduce the opacity of the \u2018thumbnail\u2019 so I can see better and start drawing, panel by panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I\u2019m done, I make any last minute adjustments You can see that I shifted the middle tier up a smidge to make room for the dialog in the bottom tier. Then I make the panel borders and we\u2019re done and ready for lettering and inking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There a few more steps in between, but they\u2019re hard to show. I\u2019ll often keep characters on separate levels so I can scribble and erase and transform one without affecting the other. But, that\u2019s basically all there is to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
